Chapter 4 : Fear
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56"Are you nervous about meeting the doctor, Selena?"
Anthony lean back on the hospital bench near the corridor. He can see the fear in Selena's facial expression as she keeps on moving her leg back to front as if she was sitting on a swing and breathing hard. She smoothes down her floral skirt and pulls her long hair on the back of her ear.
"A little. I have been doing this a lot of times already but I can't help it. I'm always nervous and scared about the verdict. It's like... everything the doctor tells me about what is going on in my head is always the same thing. I feel like there are no changes whatsoever so why bother coming here at all?"
Anthony cover her hand and smiled. “Don’t worry about it. You have me remember? I promise everything will be alright. I’ll be with you all the way.”
Selena glare at him and crossed her arms. “How can you promise that? You don’t even know what he’s going to say.”
Anthony nodded his shoulder. “I don’t but, every time you leave the doctor's office, everything always ended up alright. Especially when you bring home that small tub of Haagen Daaz home.”’
Selena smiled as she nodded in agreement. “ The only thing that will never disappoint me. Besides, I thought you were supposed to be working today. What are you doing here?”
“I took a day off so that I could accompany you since your mom can’t come today. I called her and she says that she was busy handling work stuff.”
Selena frowned. “Work stuff? Do you even know what she’s doing?”
“Yeah, her teacher’s stuff. It’s Tuesday today so of course, she would be busy so I hope you’re not upset about me being here.” He grinned and the dimples on his cheeks becomes more prominent.
“What? Me? Upset? Of course, not. Why did that suddenly got into your head?”
“Nope, just asking. Just wanted to see your reaction.” He looked amused.
Selena rolled her eyes. “You’re being weird right now, Anthony.”
“Of course I’m being weird right now. I’m sitting next to the girl that I have had the biggest crush on ever since I was in kindergarten. How can I not be weird in front of you? Isn't that what people do in movies when they're like… have a crush on someone?”
“And what makes you think that I would like those whole awkward, weird acts? You know I always find those scenes to be obnoxious.”
Anthony feigns his shock and even covers his mouth to humor her. It worked of course. “Obnoxiously cute. I thought girls like those kinds of stuff.”
Selena snorted. “Not me. If you think I’m that kind of girl, then you don’t know me that well, Mr. Russo.”
Before he could respond to that, a nurse came out from the room next to them and stood in front of Selena.
“Hello, miss Selena. Dr. Stephen is ready to see you now.”
Selena nodded and got up. She turned to Anthony and nodded at him. “All right. Wish me luck now, Anthony.”
“Always, Lena.”
...
“Selena, how are you today? Good?” Asked the young doctor with genuine concern on his face.
Selena smiles
“I’m good, doc. It's just that… those dreams I’ve been having… about that mystery man? It's not as frequent as it was before. It is slowly going away.”
Doctor Stephan nod his head and stare at the document with Selena full name on it on the table.
“Is the dream clearer now? it's not as blurry as it was before? You can see your surroundings better?”
Selena shook her head. “No. It is still the same.”
“And have you told any of this to your mother?”
“No.” Selena looks down. “I didn’t think the dream matters. I doubt it is that important. It is just a dream after all.”
“Selena, have you ever thought that the dreams you have been having may be some kind of a lost memory? It could actually be a good sign, Selena as it will help you to remember many things that you have forgotten before the accident.” Replied doctor Stephen
She was quiet for a moment as she took the time to think what the young doctor said could be true.
“You could be right, Doc. But, I’m just not confident enough to ask mom about the dreams. I mean… mom herself hasn’t told me anything about what happened before especially the accident so I feel like, just keeping things quiet since it doesn’t really affect me or like, hurt me didn't really matter.” She brushed back her dark hair behind her ear and bit her lips.
Dr. Stephan blush at her movement and he had to look aside for a while. Selena was a very beautiful woman. It was something that he couldn't help but notice since the first time he had treated her many months ago. If it wasn’t for the condition she was brought in and her status as described by her mother, he would have had courted her properly. It was still odd to him that her mother wanted to keep the information a secret from her own daughter.
What the heck was going on in this family, he thought to herself.
“Selena, have you ever thought about finding the mystery man in your dream?”
Dr. Stephan's questions literally made her heart skips a bit as her thoughts drifted to the mystery man who had shown up in her dream from time to time again. Literally from the moment, she finds herself in the hospital.
“Do I need to, Doc?”
“Well if you ask me, I think you should. It is for your sake if you are curious about your forgotten past, Selena.” He replied softly
“But I’m scared, doc. It’s like… my own mother didn’t want me to know about the things that I have forgotten. Even my sister always tries to hide things from me and every time I ask them, they’ll just keep quiet and avoid the whole conversation. I don’t know... if none of them wanted to say anything. That must’ve meant something, right? That they care so much about me so they chose to hide the truth from me so I won’t get hurt?”
Dr. Stephan stare at her for a second before continuing.
“What are you afraid of, Selena?"

Afraid? What makes you think I am afraid?” She frowned. “Because every time we talk about your past, you always look so sad. Tell me, what scares you?” “Honestly, I don’t know. Maybe like… what those pasts were. What the actual secret was… I’m in a safe position now that I do not know of it. No stress, no concern, to one day learn about it… that scares me.” “But would you want to let that fear overpowers you? Aren’t you curious about what had happened to you? Or about how you had arrived in this hospital wearing a wedding dress?” Selena’s eyes widen and her mouth was open in shock with the newfound information. “Wedding dress? Are you sure I was here wearing a wedding dress, doctor?” “Yup. A very beautiful design if I may add. Tis’ a shame that I had to cut it off since I had to treat your abdominal wounds.” “Okay but was I married, doc? Was I already married before I came here?” Dr. Stephan smiled. “For that particular

“Selena? Is… is that you?” Sandro asked once more. His eyes were wide open yet his face was paled with the discovery in front of him. Selena stare at him, head tilted and brow furrowing down, looking at how odd the handsome man was. His voice... she can’t help but find familiarity with his voice and it made her body hum with joy. Hair rising and she had to shake her head and rub her arms to erase the feel. “Do you know me?” She replied. Never moving from her spot. Might as well take a dagger and cut him from the chest down than ask him who he was. He know who his wife was and he knows Selena. It was actual Selena and he would’ve recognized her from miles away yet she stood there in front of him asking her who he was? That was unacceptable. “Do you not know who we are, Selena?” Abe spoke behind him. His hands were wrapped on Sandro's shoulder for fear he would freak out any moment. “No.” She replied without a hint of doubt. Is she having some sort of amnesia?’ Sandro almost loses

“What?” Abe replied with a shocking expression. He literally rubbed his ear and shook his head before facing Sandro again. “Did I hear you right? You are playing with me right?” “Nope.” Sandro corrected him. A slight grin took over his expression and his voice was deep and no doubt serious. “We’re going to kidnap my wife.” Abe scoffed and back away with his both hand and palm raised. “We? Did you just say we? My man, you are tripping like crazy right now.” “I’ve thought long and hard and I’ve made up my mind. Selena needs to be separated from her family because all they do is separate us and that is a crappy way of messing with me. To make this work, I need your help, Abe.” Abe chuckled nervously and shook his head in disbelief. If there was a stick nearby, he would whack the damn thing on Sandro’s head because he was being crazy right now. Nevertheless, he can see the real intent in his eyes and it was hard to not remember the look of

Chapter 8 Abe was way over his head. Why the heck did he agree with what Sandro asked of him? Wife or not, kidnapping Selena with her current state is still a criminal activity and if they got caught, he would end up scrubbing shit at the big house. He may not be a billionaire like his best friend but hell, being raised by doctors as a parent made him have the finest things in life. He don't think he can jail very much. Nevertheless, he had owed Sandro a big favor after Sandro had helped him with a few failed deals after he got screwed over by people he once regard as friends. He had been his ride and die ever since they were a kid. If his best friend requires a car for him and his wife to stay hidden in their secret cabin house in Aspen, why the hell not? A knock on the door made him raise his brows from where he was sitting. He sat up straight, straighten his coat, and laid back on his fancy COO chair. “Come in.” He says. The door to his office opens and his personal secretary, E

If Selena hadn’t met this man in her unlikely situation, she would’ve found a date with Sandro in this mansion to be a romantic one.Unfortunately, this man was not very sane as to kidnap her like that.

Unedited. Will do soon....Selena was watching the tv which plays local shows and she almost passed out from boredom when she hears footsteps coming down from the stairs. "Get dress." Sandro deep voice booms from behind her and she immediately sat up. Frowning at him who stood in front of her wearing a Polo shirt. She could smell his after shower perfume and soap. It smells good. "What?" Selena frowned at him. "Get dress. We're going to town. Need to buy some stuff since we've been staying here and ate non stop, our fridge is running out of food." Selena felt dumbfounded. "You sure? Taking me there?" She ask just to make sure she had heard him right. "Of course." He asked, unbothered by her perplexed expression. Its slowly turns into a smile and she bit both her lip, feeling excited for the opportunity to escape him. "Before you start to grin like that, may I remind you that I have my men around your mother's house and they are ordered to act if I don't text them every 15 m
Everything I Ever Want Chapter 13 : He knows
As soon as he wrapped up his breakfast with Sandro and goes home, Abe immediately took a shower and clean himself up to go to the office once more. He was definitely going to take some rest starting from tomorrow and the only thing that made him going today is the beautiful Irish maiden waiting for him every single time. With her perfectly curled hair and piercing green eyes that contrast her fair freckled skin, he would stay in his damn office all day if that’s the only way he can see her again and again and damn freakin’ again. If this isn’t love, he doesn’t know what is? When he got out of the elevator and enter his office, he saw Emma bending down to get some papers scattered on the floor. It felt like his whole body and soul just bump into a wall for him to freeze and blush all over. The curve of her backside and her parted lips, breathing softly as he picks the paper one by one just looks tantalizing. Her cream color skirt was knee length and her white shirt fits her body per
